Rims,Exhaust,and Chip

I look for about an hour each day for rims, exhaust and a chip for my car. Does anyone know of where you can get some reasonably priced rims? Has anyone modified the exhaust at a local store, changing the mufflers only? Anyone know where to get chips yet?????

I found the Brabus stuff, but I dont want to spend that much, this is not my main car but I want to make it kinda fun.

ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW THE WEBSITE TO BUY THE REAR WINDOWN DIFUSOR/SPOLIER????????????????? I REALLY CANT FIND THAT, DONT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP.

thanks all the best

call and ask for Daniel.
tell him what you want.

he owns a place called ''ultra car'' which does modifications for high end cars and all that stuff.

he called me and told me that there was a chip for the c350 so maybe he has one for the c300.

he's in montreal, canada but im sure he can send the stuff over to you.

give him a call

I don't know what kind of wheels you are looking for, but search AMG wheels on eBay. There are quite a few.

Remus has an exhaust system for just under $900, and I too, am waiting for a chip.

Oh... www.tirerack.com has H&R and Eibach springs.

The Remus exhaust is only for sound... no real improvements on performance. Take a look at companies like Eisenmann, and Kleeman for exhaust goodies. As for chips/reflashes, I think that Powerchips has something in the works.

With all due respect to any exhaust manufacturer, the system on the C350 is a bit like the E92 335i, it's already very free flowing and not much can be done to improve upon it except removing cats, which we don't do. The only restrictions were in the muffler, and that we took care off.

Similar clips can be heard on the S350.
